Children & Family Advocacy Center

At the Children & Family Advocacy Center, women and children like Stacy and her kids find more than just a safe place to sleep—they find a path to healing, empowerment, and a brighter future. Through our residential program, survivors of trauma and crisis receive essential on-site services, including counseling and advocacy. But healing doesn’t stop there. The CFAC also offers community opportunities where women can expand their skills, build confidence, and prepare for new beginnings. From career workshops to parenting classes and life-skills training, our residents are given the tools they need to rebuild their lives and create stability for their future. Every day, they take brave steps toward resilience. None of this would be possible without the support of our donors. Your generosity directly funds the services and resources these families need to heal and thrive. Together, we can make sure that every woman and child who walks through our doors has the chance to rewrite their story. Will you support them today? https://lnkd.in/gPPYZWqz

Our acute services team respond to child maltreatment allegations. One step in the client journey to healing is offering a child-first setting where expertly trained forensic interviewers offer an opportunity to be a listening ear to a child. The goal is to reduce the number of times a child shares their experience, ensuring their voice is heard in a safe, neutral space. Forensic interviewers work closely with our multidisciplinary team, which includes law enforcement, child services, and prosecutors. While the interview may be the only time a child meets with a forensic interviewer, it is a critical step in our cycle of comprehensive, holistic and trauma-informed care. Each interview costs $180 and is provided at no charge to our clients. On Giving Tuesday, your donation can help provide this essential service, creating a safe space for children in need and impacting their path to healing. Will you help? https://lnkd.in/gPPYZWqz
